where are the gadgets on a crossbow? please show me. so far i have not seen anywhere as much as a compound.the source od found wounded deer is still atributed to the compound bow. not a crossbow.once again if you think a crossbow is easier to use you are sadly mistaken. you have to use the same things as a compound in shooting. you have to use the windage and ability to shoot. you use a sight pin just as i do. that is where the similarity ends. you have many more things to make your shooting easier.with all these things you superior compounders still lead in leaving more wounded deer than any other weapon used.maybe this is saying that the compound should not be used.the compound can and is equipped with many more advantages.if it is a short ranged gun then show me the bullets and where to load it.
